Summary
The documentation provides code samples for generating SAS tokens in multiple languages, including PowerShell and Bash. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given a full example, and the Bash example is present but less detailed and uses tools (jq, iconv) that may not be available by default on all Linux distributions. There is a slight Windows bias in the presence and completeness of PowerShell examples, and the use of .NET samples in the 'Samples' section, which are more Windows-oriented. The instructions for disabling local/SAS key authentication focus on the Azure portal (GUI, often used on Windows) and ARM templates, with no mention of CLI alternatives (e.g., Azure CLI or REST API), which are more commonly used on Linux.
Recommendations
- Ensure Bash examples use only standard Linux utilities (avoid jq, iconv if possible, or provide installation instructions).
- Provide Azure CLI examples for management tasks such as disabling local/SAS key authentication.
- Include Linux-specific instructions or troubleshooting notes where relevant (e.g., file permissions, environment setup).
- Balance PowerShell and Bash examples in terms of detail and completeness.
- Add sample links for Java, Node.js, and other cross-platform SDKs alongside .NET in the 'Samples' section.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for all code samples and management instructions.
